So *This* Is the Evening Bag Hue That Everyone Should Pair With Black Gowns
Today is April 1, a day traditionally associated with pranks and enjoyment among friends, but at Who What Wear, it signifies the start of our transition away from exclusively wearing black, including our bags. This occasion prompts us to introduce vibrant styles into our wardrobes, even for special events such as weddings, galas, and red carpet appearances. We’re not the only ones embracing this change; Katie Holmes recently made a strong case for choosing a bold cherry red clutch over a classic black evening bag.
On the opening night of Glengarry Glen Ross at the Palace Theatre in NYC, Holmes was captured in a high-neck black gown paired with gold hoop earrings. The striking cherry red Métier clutch provided a notable contrast, infusing her classic ensemble with depth and vibrancy while still exuding a polished elegance. (Image credit: Getty Images)

Cherry red bags, suitable for both daytime and evening wear, are not a recent trend. In fact, we observed flashes of this color on the streets of New York and Paris throughout the fall and winter seasons. However, we think it is especially perfect for spring, and it appears that Holmes shares this sentiment. If you wish to follow her example, continue scrolling to find her exact clutch along with more stylish red evening bags.
